Frequently asked questions
How much do dental implants cost in the UK?
Across the UK, the going rate for a single tooth implant with a crown is £2,500 to £3,500. The number you’ll be quoted is shaped by your bone density, which tooth needs replacing, and whether any prep work is required before the implant goes in. At our Shipley practice we have 0% finance over 12 months available to make the investment easier to absorb.
Are dental implants available on the NHS?
You’re unlikely to get implants on the NHS in normal circumstances. They’re only funded in exceptional cases such as severe medical conditions or accident-related tooth loss, so almost everyone has implants done privately. Our Shipley practice is 100% private and we’ll talk you through what’s possible at your free consultation.
How long do dental implants last?
Implants are built to last decades. The titanium root in your jaw is permanent in most cases, while the visible crown typically gets replaced after 10 to 15 years as it wears. Patients who clean well daily and don’t smoke commonly see their implants stay healthy for 25 years or more.
How painful are dental implants?
Patients are nearly always surprised by how little discomfort there is. The procedure itself sits in roughly the same range as a tooth extraction; you’re numbed throughout with local anaesthetic, and most people manage the recovery with shop-bought painkillers. The soreness usually feels worst on day 2 or 3 before improving fast.
Can you get dental implants if you have bone loss?
Often yes, and bone grafting is what bridges the gap. If your jawbone has thinned, we can build it up before placing the implant so there’s a stable foundation. Your consultation includes a 3D scan to measure exactly what’s there, and our team is experienced at planning implants in cases where bone is less than perfect.
What is the average cost of a one-tooth implant?
Plan on £2,500 to £3,500 for one implant with everything you need: the implant, the abutment and the final crown. Our Shipley practice has 0% finance over 12 months on treatments over £500, so a £2,500 implant works out at roughly £208 a month interest free.
What are the 3 types of dental implants?
Implants come in three main flavours: single tooth implants for replacing one tooth, implant bridges that span two or more missing teeth, and full arch options like All-on-4 for a whole jaw. The right type for you comes down to how many teeth you’re missing and where they are.
How much do full mouth dental implants cost?
Pricing for full mouth implants at TDC begins at £13,500 for one arch (top or bottom), or £17,995 for both. All-on-4 (the technique that uses four cleverly angled implants to hold a full arch of teeth) tends to be the most economical way to replace a complete set.
Are dental implants painful?
Patients regularly say the procedure was a non-event compared with what they’d feared. Local anaesthetic numbs the area completely during surgery, and IV sedation is on hand for patients who’d rather be deeply relaxed throughout. We send you home with simple aftercare advice to handle any minor tenderness in the days that follow.
